After following a tutorial on integrating the YouTube API into my website, I encountered difficulties trying to play a YouTube video in fullscreen mode when a button is pressed. Despite following the provided code closely, I am unable to get it to work as intended.
Using Slim for markup, I inserted an empty div with the ID of player as per the instructions in the tutorial:
.body
.player
Subsequently, I included the following JavaScript snippet at the end of my markup:
$(document).ready(
function() {
loadYoutubeAPI();
});
This script is supposed to initiate the process by calling these functions:
function loadYoutubeAPI() {
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
}
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
var done = false;
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
done = true;
}
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
Despite this setup, the chain of function calls comes to a halt before the onPlayerReady function executes, leaving me puzzled about the issue.
